Lamborghini Huracan gets 1,000 new orders

The recently unveiled Lamborghini Huracan has managed to receive a total of 1,000 new orders, a week only after its public debut, which took place in Geneva.

The Lamborghini Huracan may have been unveiled on the internet a couple of months ago and then brought to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, to make its public debut, just last week, but the new Italian supercar is what customers needed, considering the fact that it has received a total of 1,000 new orders. The announcement has been made by the company’s CEO and President, Stephan Winkelmann, in a discussion with Top Gear.

“We’ve had more than a thousand Huracan orders in two months. This is more than expected and very positive. Given the experience that we’ve had going from Murcielago to Aventador, selling at twice the pace of the Murcielago, I think that we can do more with the Huracan than we did with the Gallardo”, said Winkelmann to our source.

As a small reminder, the Lamborghini Huracan is the official replacement of the Gallardo and it has an evolutionary design, some new technologies and a 5.2 liter V10 engine under its hood, which has been updated. The unit is rated at 610 HP (448 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque, being mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, sending power to the all-wheel drive system. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint is made in 3.2 seconds and the supercar can reach a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
